    Especially as a European the first two things can be changed to some degree. I live within sight(200m) of a proper nature park that basically is an extension of an national park. And I have four different options for fast train travel within an hour and a (most of the time) reasonably good regional connection and a almost perfect regional connection 25min away.

    Tbh, we did specifically move here for these things.

    In terms of driving I must disagree - I have driven various cars from the 60ies and while they are gorgeous from the outside, the inside was always very underwhelming and also simply exhausting to drive. But maybe I am also too different - I used to have big company cars (BMW 5, Audi A4/6/7, MB C/E) and did not really like them. Nowadays I drive a EV6 and it’s the most fun car I ever had,by a higr margin.

      I don’t know man, i rented various types of new cars and absolutely didn’t enjoy any of them. My own car (v60) is utterly average (although very comfortable and will not replace it for a good while i think), and my all time favourite was my 2002 subaru forester which i had next to a brand new 2013 forester and still preferred over the newer model. So maybe I’m a lesbian and we certainly don’t share the same taste in cars :) And nature… well you are lucky to live close to it. To me to get to Norway or Sweden (where i consider nature nature) is multi days of travel (unless i fly, which i hate, see the beef about trains).

        Try the Black Forest. We have Lynx and wolves and even a mysterious elk this summer.

        And tbh, V60 is a high average to fall from. Had one of these and while I didn’t loved it, I liked it. To quote a friend of mine who still owns one “brutally average and brutally versatile”.

        Try a EV6 or 3,though. Good EVs are a huge difference when it comes to “fun in everyday driving” imho, due to their different engine characteristics.
